According to their schedule, Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church is going to be in the Portland area from May 28th to June 3rd, picketing churches, Jewish congregations, and public schools. Since they will be exercising their freedom of speech, I want to as well-- I want to organize assemblies to counter their messages of hatred by sending messages of love and tolerance. I don't know exactly how to go about doing this, but if I could organize a fundraiser for various noble causes like Jason Connell did, that would be cool as well.

Part of the whole "organizing assemblies" gig requires getting people's attention, though. If you're interested, let me know, either here or through some other means of communication.
